The Road Home
Spiritual growth is rarely easy. There is no quick fix. You do not get to snap your fingers and have your world change before your eyes. We are on the road home. You may choose to walk this road as a tourist, being just an observer, but something more profound is calling you.
I think about God every day. For many years concepts like God and spirituality rested on the periphery of my life. They were scenery that I could admire now and then. I was a spiritual tourist, an interested sightseer, spending a little time here and there, but always returning to my “real” life. Eventually real life became uncomfortable, and I looked to spiritual teachings as a tool - something I could use to get the things I wanted and needed. Life became more uncomfortable. Then I began to awaken.
Spiritual growth is rarely easy. There is no quick fix. You do not get to snap your fingers and have your world change before your eyes. When I began my spiritual search it was the search for a cure. Wiser now, I realize there is no cure to life. The meditation that promises to manifest all of your dreams; the book
I cannot tell you what you should do. I can only share my experiences knowing that, if you are willing, they will lead you deeper into your own inner landscape. This is where the road home begins. You may choose to walk this road as a tourist, being just an observer, but something more profound is calling you. It asks that you walk this road as both student and pilgrim, that you seek experiences which teach and transform. We are all called by this Inner Voice, but how many of us answer? How many of us are willing to break the mental bindings which limit us and separate us from ourselves, from each other, and from God? How many of us are willing to move beyond normalcy and become the glorious expression we are meant to be? This is the challenge now laid before us. Will we answer the call? Will we listen to the Voice of God within calling us home to our Self? , for you are loved and you will be shown the way.
